Gabie Klug, Drew Lyle and Kayla Cutler all work at Pete's Pizza part-time until Kayla goes to do a takeout order and never comes back. To Gabie's horror, she realizes that the man who called in the order asked for her first. Now Gabie and Drew must work together, not as co-workers but as friends, to figure out if Kayla was kidnapped or murdered in cold blood.

Read this book if you like mysteries with extra romance on top.

I think this book deserves a BLACK DIAMOND (highest score) because it was a page turner and I couldn't look away for even a second. Great for ages 13 and up (kissing, drinking and smoking are present).

Precious Ramotswe wants to be a detective and at last she has her chance. Goodies are being stolen from her classmates and they all blame it on a boy named Poloko. She has to use her smarts and her ability to bake to catch the sweet culprit sticky-handed.

I RECOMMEND this book. It is good for all ages but I think it's best for kids ages 3-12. If you like a sweet mystery, this book is for you.
